Judge Reinstates Charges Against Ex-Officer Who Killed Eddie Irizarry 
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Philadelphia, a judge reinstated all charges, including murder,
against former police officer Mark Dial, who shot and killed Eddie
Irizarry inside his car during a traffic stop in August. Philadelphia
District Attorney Larry Krasner reissued the criminal complaint against
Dial after another judge dismissed the case last month. Bodycam footage
shows the officer shooting Irizarry six times at close range even though
he did not appear to pose any threat.
